Marine Le Pen will participate this Wednesday in Missak Manouchian’s entry ceremony into the Pantheon, her entourage said on Monday, February 19. And this, despite the reservations of Emmanuel Macron for whom “the far-right forces would be inspired not to be present, given the nature of Manouchian’s fight”, declared the President of the Republic in an interview with the ‘Humanity.
“Despite the outrageous remarks of the President of the Republic, Marine Le Pen will attend the ceremony of solemn homage to the Nation,” assured the entourage of the patron saint of RN deputies.
“We have no reason to retreat on these issues”
Earlier this Monday, the RN mayor of Perpignan Louis Aliot estimated that the RN had its place at the pantheonization ceremony of Missak Manouchian on Wednesday. “I think we have to be there. We have no reason to retreat on these subjects,” declared the far-right leader on TF1.
For his part, Emmanuel Macron estimated that “the spirit of decency, the relationship with history should lead them to make a choice”, comparing the ceremony with the tribute to Robert Badinter where the elected representatives of the RN were absent at the asks the family.
